SAVE $$$ ... Travellers can save up
to 70% off the cost of international
airfares by becoming on-board
couriers. Many companies enlist the
general public to act as couriers to
carry time-sensitive documents or
other packages and will pay for a
significant portion of the airfare. In
exchange, the passenger gives up his
or her baggage allotment (except
carry-on luggage). For more infor-

is $9.95 plus $2 shipping and han-
dling, and can be ordered by phon-
ing 684-6715.

through travel.” During his Man ta
Motion world tour, Hansen height-
ened the world’s awareness of the
abilities of persons with disabilities
as he wheeled 40,000 km.
